Human resources personal statement

I am currently working full time as an administrator in a Hospital in my gap year

after sixth form. I chose to take a year out after my A-Levels to gain some true life
experience away from the security net of full time education. I was fortunate enough
to gain work in the administration field and so continue to improve my knowledge
and computer skills. I am also currently undertaking a 20 week OCR accredited
CLAIT Level 1 course at open college to gain more computing skills.
Obtaining a degree in human resource/personnel management will enable me to
seek employment in a large corporation where I eventually wish to specialise in staff
development.
All my A-level studies interested me, but I felt my sociology A-Level course gave me
much information relevant to a human resources/personnel management course
such as knowledge of human behaviour and the reasoning behind it. However I do
realise the course will entail much work dealing with facts and figures and feel with
my GCSE Maths grade B I am well equipped to manage this side of the course too.
Throughout my education I contributed in many events such as induction days,
sporting event supervision and attending volleyball and badminton clubs over several
years. I also attended many school trips in the UK and abroad. In year eleven I was
a senior student, running year seven homework and games clubs that contributed to
me achieving my Trident Award to Gold Standard.
The work experience I undertook and my current employment challenge me to work
with a diverse range of people in an office environment and allowed me to prove I
could work effectively in this kind of occupation as the report of my employer
confirmed.
My part time work as a sales assistant also gave me the confidence to communicate
well with people from all walks of life and has improved my social and inter-personal
relationship skills with other staff members and public. I feel my proven record of
good time keeping, hard work and regular attendance would enable me to benefit
from a place at university.
In my spare time I enjoy socialising because keeping in touch with my friends is
important to me and I also enjoy keeping fit and regularly go to my local leisure
centre. In addition I enjoy computing and creating websites that allow me to
communicate with people from across the world.
My decision to study human resource/personnel management has taken a lot of
research and thought over the past three years. After talking to several people
employed in this field of work and researching what the course entails and with the
rewards it holds, it was obvious that this kind of work was what I wanted to do and
so I have applied to take a degree at university to provide me with the qualifications
and experience I need to follow my chosen career path.

Business Management personal statement

There is a rapid growth in global organizational concepts, crystallized in Japanese
business philosophy, to be as effective as possible in the most efficient way. New
technology involving networking information and automation influences the
behaviour of business and enables significant transformation. This need to maximize
efficiency and effectiveness in such a competitive age is increasingly crucial to the
success of a business. This is why it is an exciting and fascinating period in both the
commercial and economic world to study Business Management.
Adaptability, creative thinking and the application of technology are now intrinsic to
managing businesses. I have developed these principles and enjoyed the spectrum
of sixth form study that has taught me to approach problems from different political,
economical and psychological perspectives. Throughout Business Studies, to
complement what has been taught I have researched real-life business solutions and
how they have been implemented, such as the responsive marketing used by Coca
Cola to prolong their business cycle and sustain major profitability. Studying ICT has
enabled me to examine the criticality of technology in giving businesses a
competitive edge by considering issues such as organisational objectives, people and
legal implications rather than making decisions based solely on financial factors.
Furthermore, studying Psychology gives me insight into the human influences on
organizational behavior through studying motivational theories such as the hierarchy
of needs model proposed by Maslow, whilst the coursework has developed my skills
in collecting and analyzing data in order to establish trends and draw conclusions.
Studying English Language has allowed me to develop an ability to express my ideas
clearly and concisely.
I have worked for * as a Tester, assisting in the development of *, the fastest-selling
PC game ever. It was a significant learning experience and made me evaluate myself
and better understand my strengths and skills, such as the ability to easily identify
discrepancies and communicate these effectively to management so that problems
can be solved. Recent experience at * Ltd gave me a taste of working within a larger
organization. Operating within two different, but equally successful organisations has
enabled me to see contrasting leadership styles and corporate culture. Within
college, I participated in a paired reading project where I listened to and assessed
readers lower down the school which required a relaxed, patient and friendly
approach with the younger students, as well as punctuality and dedication.
Throughout the past year, I have represented the college in district basketball and
rugby competitions.
I am a committed member of the Colts team at my local rugby side. I have
captained the team in previous seasons which required leadership, confidence and
diligence. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to a range of music, going to the gym
and socializing. I am a regular reader of the Financial Times, enjoy keeping up with
current affairs and business news. I enjoy reading a variety of books, both fiction
and non-fiction such as 'Making It Happen' (J. Harvey-Jones) where his common
sense approach complements the management theories of more staid texts. This
degree will equip me for my career in the unpredictable and fast moving world of
commerce.
Management Personal Statement
To me, management is a game of control. In front of the game, management
becomes interesting. I always tell myself there are only two choices in this game: to
believe that I will win and put in the effort which is needed to achieve the victory or
not to join this game in the very beginning. Among these two choices, I have chosen
the former and I am ready for it now.
I am confident that I have the ability to learn how to manage. I graduated from
Enterprise CoachingTechnology 1 & 2 last summer and built up friendships with
different sorts of enterprises' executives and managers. More importantly we
competed and we shared our life experiences. Though I was the youngest among the
courses, I gained their recognition through different tasks and competitions, a few of
them even offered me posts in their enterprises. At school in China, I had been
active in the student union and League Branch Secretary. For 12 consecutive years, I
earned the Outstanding Student Leader Award and I gained the prize of Youth
League Leader for 6 consecutive years. I obtained confidence, independence and
problem solving abilities at school.
In order to have experiences of management as soon as possible, I have been
working in the HR department of my father's company during holidays. The company
concentrates on solar energy relative products. My colleagues and I have developed
a series of enterprise cultures and I was lucky to have chances to take up some of
the marketing and sales strategy tasks. While I am in the UK doing my HND courses
I sometimes write news scripts for the company. Through practical work experience,
I believe better management could have greatly enhanced the company's efficiency
and the knowledge in the university will help in modifying the company's system. So
trust me! I am very passionate in management and I have a strong desire and
responsibility in it.
Back in China, when I was in high school, I wrote articles for newspapers and
magazines and took part as an editor for a national literature web site. My
performance was spotted by the New Orient English School and was hired as a short
term project assistant. I took part in a documentary this summer for the Beijing
Science Channel about solar energy and use and it helped me to know more about
the future of the industry. For the sake of better management skills, I took a course
of Enneagram with 60 professionals and it allowed me to understand what kind of
person I am and what kind of persons the others are. I was found to be type 3:
achiever who is enthusiastic in achieving what I want.
For leisure, I play the piano and write articles for Chinese magazines but most of the
time I plan for what I want to achieve next in the short term and achieve it. I am
curious in and find it interesting how businessmen used the theories on the books
flexibly in the real world. So, I have been reading some MBA suggested books in my
leisure time.
University is a path to realize my interest and profession. I have been chasing my
aims with all strength. To achieve my long-term aims, obtaining a degree is one of
the most crucial short-term aims in the coming future. Give me a chance to complete
this. I promise I definitely will not let you down.
Human Resource Management
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Pursuing a masters degree is a responsibility I owe to myself as well as a
commitment I have to others. I refer to it as a responsibility because I have a
proactive outlook on life, which makes me actively seek and go after the things that I
want to accomplish in life. I refer to it as a commitment because I want to be an
example
to others of the attainments and contribution to society that women can make.
My first introduction to human resource management came as a result of an
encounter with Victor Banjo, General Manager Human Resources Oceanic Bank Plc. It
was as a result of this encounter that I was able to get detailed understanding of the
roles played by human resource in tackling human issues and consequently in
organizational success.
In light of this, I have decided to take up the masters program in Human Resource
Management because I am interested in the role it plays in achieving organizations
goals and objectives, key among them being hiring and training the best employees,
and dealing with performance issues.
I am a graduate of Mass Communications from Bowen University. My Mass
Communications degree has provided me with a strong foundation as well as fortified
me with good communications skills, personal communications as well as
organizational communications skills, bearing in mind that the importance of proper
communication in the business environment cannot be over-emphasized. In the
same vein, professionals of communication recognize the importance of good
business practices.
My career goal is to work in a leading firm that places priority on professionalism and
lead such organization towards attainment of set goals by making use of knowledge
garnered as well as experience. Ten years from now I see myself as a human
resource consultant, providing professional advice so that others can make the best
decisions. I believe a masters degree in Human Resource Management is all I need
to make this dream come true. It fits the profile of this goal.
Perhaps some of my greatest attributes is that I am smart, hardworking, and
inquisitive. I am always willing to learn and I appreciate every opportunity to learn
new things or old ones differently. I am sensitive and genuinely interested in others,
which makes me confident that HRM is the path I want to tread. Human resources
are vital to any organization: without people the organization would not function.
I chose this university because of its great reputation, its renowned academic
excellence, and good industry links as well as flexible postgraduate schemes. I look
forward to being a part of a renowned institution as your institution. I firmly believe
that the right education in the right school will open doors of advancement in my
chosen field of study.

Management Personal Statement

To me being an ordinary employee is not satisfying. I believe I can get my hands
fully into the projects and have a major influence on how they are implemented.
Although I have a short but rewarding period of work experience, from the beginning
I had my mind set to reach higher positions within industry and to be able to pursue
this dream I am applying for the MSc Management course.
Please accept this letter and the accompanying CV as an expression of my interest in
MSc Management course.
As my CV indicates, in June 2007, I was graduated with MEng in Mechanical
Engineering. I was initially introduced to mechanical engineering by working in my
father’s Engineering and Construction Company involved with
projects in Oil and Gas fields in south Iran. I demonstrated a commitment to
continued education and improvement by applying for a degree in mechanical
engineering in the following year. My father is the managing director of his own
company and I was always encouraged by him to run his business alongside him at
some point after I completed my studies. Recently, from various discussions with my
father regarding his business I realized that the global economy plays a significant
role in businesses’ failure/success in Iran. With regards to the
current political and economical sanctions, proper leadership and management can
prevent any company from going bankrupt and failing in this country. This has
convinced me to confirm my decision to study management in addition to my
previous degree.

I also took a summer job in the Sales Department of a Stone Manufacturing

Company and I was privileged to have the chance to take up some of the marketing
and sales strategy tasks. I learnt the necessity of having efficient communication
skills and dealing with different people.
I am currently working in M & E sector of Jacobs Engineering. During this time I have
acquired a sound overall knowledge of leading edge engineering principle, tools and
practices with emphasis on designing mechanical systems. However I feel the need
to supplement my engineering skills with managerial expertise in order to achieve
higher positions through out my career path.
Working on different projects such as being involved with design of a Baggage
Transfer facility within Heathrow Airport (London) has given me the insight to how
projects are executed. This particular project consists of different design teams from
various sectors and companies incorporating different aspects of the project and
liaising with each other. I worked very closely with the Project Lead, and in fact, I
was challenged with some project management tasks. This has proven to me that I
have managerial skills, although training and direction is essential in order to apply
them appropriately.
My personal attributes include leadership and creativity as well as analytical and
problem solving skills. I interact effectively with people from diverse backgrounds.
Through out my degree and employment I have always managed to achieve project
goals and I have brought quality work into timely and productive completion both in
individual and teamwork assignments.
Determined to obtain recognition as a Chartered Professional Engineer, I am also
very keen to express my interest in the Management (CEMS) Program. Being
employed in a multi disciplinary company I have always wanted to be involved with
the work within the Project Management sector. I am amazed that how easy some
projects can lead into failure by dreadful project management. I learned from
experience that project managers require having both technical knowledge and
managerial skills to implement projects with high standards. I am confident that I
could make significant contribution to any organization following my studies. I would
bring preparation and experience as well as commitment in this course.

PERSONAL STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
NAME: AKANDE OLAITAN LATEEF
PROPOSE COURSE OF STUDY: MA MANAGEMENT
To be a top notch management cum logistical personnel, with wide range of
knowledge in business management in all ramifications is my main goal. Managing
resources, both human and materials today in this fast rising and expanding
business world has taking a different dimension, with the introduction of e-business
and other new innovative mechanism of transaction in the field of purchasing,
procurement, production and industries has brought about a competitive playing
ground, which require one to consistently update his knowledge and skills to be
relevant in his chosen career path.
With my academic background in economics as a first degree, understanding the
variables of the market mechanism and other applied reasoning, I had the
opportunity to have a feel of the banking industry, during the one year mandatory
national youth service corps programme upon my graduation, where I served with
the first bank of Nigeria Plc. During this period I worked with several departments of
the banking operations office vis a vis: Administrative, foreign operation, customer
service and cash office respectively doing minimum of two months with each of the
department, the experience really enhance my knowledge of the financial sector,
preparing me for the task in the outside world, while discharging duties here, I was
discover by an expatriate of a civil engineering firm PW Nigeria Ltd, a company that
later become my first working place in the real world two months later i.e. Life after
school .
Working with PW Nig. Ltd., is an experience that will remains unforgettable in my
memory, drafted to a site where a forty two kilometer road project was being
executed. As the site cashier, I was tasked with managing of the petty cash of the
site as well as others, such as onsite settlement of suppliers/sub contractors,
payment of compensation to the locals, life camp maintenance and so on; here I
realized the importance of managerial skills. Where I need to interact with the
indigenes making them understand the economic importance of the project and the
direct long run benefits and value of the projects in their immediate life. I also enjoy
the opportunities of having had to interact with people of different nationalities and
background by working directly with them. All these require vast managerial skills
and dexterity.
I progressed to Alkolaq Intercontinental Ltd from PW Nig Ltd, a firm that is into
importation and exportation of herbal and nutritional supplements. I assume the post
of logistics officer tasked with taking stocks, inventory and data management of the
firm's. I was faced with the challenges of merging figures, items and consults,
consequently, I came out with the required and accurate details to determine how
the firm is fairing, both within the domestic and international markets, our
operations with the foreign partners were captured by my department. While with
the logistics department here, I brokered the pact that turn the company into a
production firm which in turn reduce reliance on imported items thereby boosting the
turnover of the firm. After which I moved on to Impasse Technologies Ltd.
Impasse Technologies Ltd, an engineering firm that is into power solution and shelter
(steel and isothermal) production. Here, I am able to prove my prowess and zeal to
learn more about the trade and techniques in the field of procurement, logistics and
supply chain management. As the stock/logistics officer, I build an operational
framework for the materials and products movement to and fro the company;
thereby an accountable inflow of inputs and outflow of outputs, while liaising with
suppliers on reduction in rates and on time deliveries, also among my duties is
project progress monitoring, all these experiences and the quest to be an icon in my
field of practice spurt my interest to pursue MA in management.
It has always be my dream to be a philanthropist, reason why, as soon as I have the
opportunity to give back to the society, I have been giving ten percent of my
earnings. Reinvesting in terms of human development and considerations of social
responsibilities. Whereby I have consistently given my support to an organization
that is into educating and welfares of children with down syndrome.
These and the zeal to excel are paramount on my mind, that makes me to decide
that on completion of my study at Westminster University, I will gladly embrace the
opportunity to serve and contribute my quota to my country and impact my acquired
knowledge, skills and wherewithal to the benefit of my family and my society at
large. So help me God.

Business personal statement

Personal Statement
Business has become one of the most important aspects of our life and from my
perspective it has more influence on our world than any other disciplines. Business is
what I want to do study to degree level because I am naturally passionate about it.
For some people working in business is just a substance of money, for me it is a
matter of passion, desire and drive to succeed. The way business is controlled and
organised motivates me to learn more and more about it.
My IFD course and wider reading have helped me to understand business in more
depth and have given me the best possible background to tackle various problems.
This course have helped me to accomplish various business disciplines, motivation
theories, the concept and development of business, marketing and accounting .I
have been inspired by various reasons to study business to a higher level, including
my father who is a successful businessman. I believe this has given me an honest
insight into the world of business. The areas of business that interest me the most
are operations of business, management resources and accounting. I have read
many books about business. One of the most influential books that have influenced
on my understanding of business concepts are Guide to College Resource and
Financial Management” by Bob Lawrence, “How to sell yourself “and “How to close
every sale” by Joe Girard. One of his main concepts is that successful business is not
simply about making money, but also about job satisfaction, which is something I
while-heartily agree with.
Business management in the academic world and the implementation of business in
practise are different aspects of contextual understanding. I have accomplished this
theoretical understudying from the position that I have now, working par time in
Currys.digital as a sales man. There is a strong sense of community at work were I
have build leadership skills, accomplished many sales techniques and established
myself as a true sales man, which I appreciate. Creative thinking, problem solving
having a true leader skill is an essential pack of skills that I am generating from day
business life.

I am looking forward to studying business further to develop my knowledge and

understanding of financial aspects of the business, business management and
financial accounting. My ICT skills are already developed as a part of my IFD course,
which helped me to develop my business skills. I am looking forward to the challenge
offered in studying Business. I am driven to succeed and keen to make the most of
every opportunity.
